Possible application of memristors in ESD protection

Memristive systems for analog signal processing

“…About 20 per cent of the publications are devoted to memristive systems for analog computations, particularly in the role of massively-parallel computational systems [3] and neuromorphic learning circuits [4]. Of approximately the same frequency are papers proposing linear applications of memristive systems -amplifiers [5], filters [6], and controllers [7] with electronically adjustable parameters (ca 7 per cent by each category), and also nonlinear applications: modulators and demodulators (conventional analog modulations [8] and shift-keying techniques [9], UWB receivers [10]) and nonlinear non-inertia circuits (circuits for ESD protection [11], MIN/MAX circuits for fuzzy logic [12], etc.). So far, papers from the area of sensors [13], AD and DA conversion [14] and image- [15] or audio- [16] signal processing appear only occasionally.…”
